GOD BLESS YOU STILL! I UNDERSTAND NOT WHY THE WORLD HAVE ATHIEST; AND THOUGHT MAYBE YOU CAN HELP ME TO UNDERSTAND! I TOO, WAS SOMETHING AS AND ATHIEST, BUT I WAS RUNNING THE STREETS AND DOING ALL TYPE'A WRONG.
UNTIL ONE DAY I PICKED UP THE HOLY BIBLE, AND START READING IT, AND DECIDED TO GIVE UP MY DESTRUCTIVE LIFESTYLE, AND SEE WAS THE HOLY BIBLE REAL AS PEOPLE SAID IT WAS, AND THE HOLY BIBLE IS OUR(ALL HUMANKIND, EERYTHING BREATHING) ONLY SOURCE TO THIS LIFE ON EARTH!
AND IF WE DON'T DO WHAT IT SAYS, WE ARE UNDER A CURSE!!! GOD SAID, BODY EXERCISE PROFIT LITTLE; GOD ALSO SAID, I SET BEFORE YOU LIFE AND DEATH BLESSINGS AND CURSINGS, THERE FORE CHOOSE!(DEUTERONOMY 30:19, IF YOU DECIDE TO LOOK.
WE BETTER NOT JUST READ THE BIBLE, BUT DO WHAT IT SAY TO REMOVE THE CURSE FROM US!!!

Which Wed was the Viva Voce? Congratulations in any event. I spent some time on the University of Essex web site. Looks like a good place to learn. One of the people in the ad shot looks like your old avatar. Coincidence?
Thanks for taking frequent breaks from the dissertation madness to share with us on beliefnet. You really ought to post the title of your dissertation on the community rooms so people will know what your know.

KW...your expertise on things Buddhist is greatly needed in a thread over in U.S. Politics--it's on a current "global warming" thread (believe it or not)--so if you sign on tonight and see this, stop on over, please? Pretty please?!? (I would have sent a message but there wasn't a link...) Thanks!
